But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Dead in my trespasses–God didn't wait until I cleaned up my act, scrubbed my immoral soul and deodorized the foul stench. Impossible tasks. Life came through His rich mercy, His great love; His grace did it all. Alive, I'm alive! Hallelujah!
